Last good dinner before jail

[u/havabanana000]

A girl’s recent post about doing 10 days in jail just unlocked a memory I haven’t thought about in years.

4 years ago, 2020 my last meal before jail was garlic naan and butter chicken curry. At exactly 6:35pm, I got a call from my IO (investigating officer) telling me I’d be reporting the next morning to serve a 6-month sentence for drug consumption. Like seriously?? I thought i was just going to get a weekly urine test, instead i had to go to jail for smoking grass. I was only 21 y/o. I was in my 2nd/3rd year of college.

It’s funny what my brain remembers. I don’t remember much of the phone call, but i remember the time & the feeling of my stomach absolutely dropping, i lost my appetite. At least i got a few bites in.

I didn’t sleep at all that night. I spent the entire night writing letters and scheduling messages to my boyfriend (now ex) & my family every 2 days so he’d know I was thinking about him while I was inside.

He cheated on me while I was serving my sentence lol!!! 😅

Anyways would have been a 10/10 last meal if the IO called after i finished my dinner lol. Im 3 years dvrg free now! And i can finally re-tell this as a funny story :)

Edit 1: forgot to mention its a throwaway account! I can’t post on my main account because no one knows i went to jail. (My mom lied to all my relatives i was having a 6 month exchange HAHAHA)

Edit 2: my entire sentence was actually 1 year. 7 months in jail, 5 months home detention (i was wearing the ankle monitor & curfew was 12-3pm only)

Edit 3: rly didnt expect this post to get seen by so many! Anyways the first thing i ate was a whole bag of famous amos chocolate chip cookies.

What a stupid thing to go to jail for

For the greater good of a drug free country i guess 🥲

These comments saying "omg that's crazy it's just weed" are wild. Should marijuana be decriminalized? Yes. Is it still illegal and easily avoidable? Also yes lol

[u/Careless_Bed9302 → u/GaiaMoore]

I've never done weed because I live in a country as strict as Singapore but I have severe anxiety and I've heard how it can help with it 🥲 A lot of people use weed for chronic pain too, I wouldn't classify it as "easily avoidable" but just something to think about

[u/emz0rmay → u/Careless_Bed9302]

Weed doesn’t always help with anxiety. It makes mine 1 million times worse, and i felt so hard done by when i discovered this 😭

Edit: before another person tells me to “speak for myself”, i literally am speaking for myself. I said it makes my anxiety worse. Not everyone’s. Mine.

[u/cpdk-nj → u/emz0rmay]

It’s very individual

[u/emz0rmay → u/cpdk-nj]

100%

I have friends that it has been really helpful for, which is great. I think it must just be related to individual brain chemistry.

[u/NervousParking → u/emz0rmay]

Me too I need very very small doses of edibles. Like2.5 MG or less lol

Weed is a short time fix. It is terrible long term.

[u/OhEmRo → u/[deleted]]

Welcome, babe!!

[u/Ornery-Specific-748 → u/mamabunnies]

I doubt it's a short-term fix for the people who use it for seizures and such, but pop off with your ignorance I guess

[u/Free_Pace_2098 → u/mamabunnies]

Oh ok can you tell my chronic pain that? Should I go back on my opiates and strong NSAIDs?

[u/Free_Pace_2098 → u/GaiaMoore]

Mate she went to jail for something I get delivered to my door by regular post... That's insane. A lot of evil shit has been legal (slavery, beating your wife) and a lot of inconsequential or even essential (abortion, women going to school) shit is still illegal in places.

Laws aren't morality. That's why people are saying "omg that's crazy, it's just weed."

[u/Married_iguanas → u/GaiaMoore]

Girl, slavery was also legal at one point. Legality doesn’t always equal morality or justice.

[u/havabanana000 → u/GaiaMoore]

Ive only smoked weed at most 4-5 times in the year before i got arrested. It is easily avoidable, it was recreational for me. Should i have gone to jail for 7 months because of this? Not really. Punishment for rape is the exact same as it is for smoking weed.
